What's the Point
Posted by littlebit on Sat Feb-09-08 05:11 PM

What is the point of a company offering domestic partnership benefits if they make it impossible to get them. My partner has been trying for several months now to add me to her insurance. We have sent then every piece of documentation they have asked for. They keep coming back and telling us it isn't good enough. My license was to old. It didn't prove that I was still living at the same address. So I went and renewed it early. Now they are telling us it is to new. It doesn't prove that I have been living at that address for at least six months. They wanted a bill that was in both of our names. We sent them our car insurance bill and our Am ex bill. They said that wasn't good enough because it wasn't a utility bill. I don't even know and married couples that have utility bills in both of peoples name. It is just getting so frustrating. If we were able to get married or even be recognized legally as a couple none of this would have happened.

Boo Hoo asshat!   :bawl:

Guess what - equal rights come with equal headaches.  What, you thought everything would be handed to you on a silver platter?

I long for the days when they just blew each other in Greyhound bus station restrooms like decent queers. Such a simpler time and place. *sigh* The ones today just aren't raised right.

I have a lesbian cousin who is in her late 60's now.  She has been with her same chosen one for forty years.  They don't even live in the same house.  They live next door to each other.  Together they own two very nice houses free and clear.

My cousin considers her homosexuality to be like a birthmark.  It is what life dealt her.  She has tried to make the best of it.  It is her lot in life. 

Whether you agree with my cousin or not, you have to admit she has a sane approach to her sexual desires for a person of the same sex as she.  I cannot fault her.  She has lead an wonderfully conservative life.  She loves her Lord Jesus, and she has never pretended to be anything other than what she is - a woman who does not intend to bother the rest of society with her problems.

I'm willing to bet that your lesbian cousin isn't trying to impose her lifestyle on anyone.  I know another couple in almost the same situation as your describe above.  Life indeed deals a same-sex attraction card to many people as it deals other struggles to other people.

I agree, it is a sane approach. I'm not a person that believes homosexuality will keep one out of heaven. To me it's a sin but not particularly different than any one of a thousand sins even Christians, myself included, commit in the course of a lifetime. My stepson is gay. He's a good boy and I love him like my own flesh and blood. We joke about "faggots" and have a great time. He even hated Bill Clinton, which endeared him to me even more. :-)

No, I only have an issue with those who try to paint homosexuality itself as something righteous and noble and demand special rights on account of it. Otherwise, on a personal level, it's not my business.

I agree Dandi, to put a homosexual relationship on the same level as a hetero relationship is ludicrous. No matter how hard they try, two males or two females will never produce a child. The next thing I am going to say pisses people off, but it is what I believe...I will never believe that it is right for people of the same sex to raise children together. I find it completely selfish and insensitive to the needs of the child. I realize it happens, I just don't think it should be encouraged.

That's the point.  I would guess 90% of the homosexuals just want to be left alone.  They have their Cross to bear and they do so within the context of trying to lead a normal life.  The politics of the other 10% is not improving their lives.  It is doing the opposite.  That tells me there is something sinister going on and it is too powerful for the everyday homosexual to stop.  The ratio of horse to cart is w-a-y out of whack.

The kid will be 14 in September, and from what I hear, he is quite the impressive young man.  My cousin's "partner" is back in the picture but does not live in the same house. 

My cousin who died, the kid's dad, his funeral was on September 11, 2001.  I will never forget it.
